I certainly can sympathize with you on the cough. I had what I thought were alergies since I'm in Oklahoma and the wind comes whipping down the plain but it turned to a kind of pneumonia. I coughed so much and so hard, I'd almost wet my pants. I couldn't sleep and my ribs were sore. My doctor finally prescribed Tussinex and it helped immensely. I no more than got over it and got it again the next week. I went through 2 rounds of antibiotics and a multi-pak of steriods. Probably not the same thing but the cough sounds as bad. Good luck in stopping your cough.
